Immobilien: Hier dauert ein Verkauf von Haus oder Wohnung jetzt länger

In Deutschland, selling a house or apartment can take longer than expected. Immobilienvermittler Hausgold analyzed several hundred thousand listings from print media and online portals to determine how long properties stay on the market in the first five months of 2026. The results show significant differences across regions, with some properties staying on the market for nearly nine weeks while others disappear from the market after just a few days.

In the seven largest German cities, including Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, and Munich, the time it takes for properties to sell varies greatly. Düsseldorf has the longest average marketing time at 6.2 weeks, followed closely by Berlin and Hamburg at 6.1 weeks each. Munich is the fastest market, with properties typically staying on the market for only five weeks.

In smaller cities and districts, the differences are even more pronounced, with some areas taking up to 8.8 weeks to sell properties. The slowest market is Zweibrücken in Rhineland-Palatinate, while the fastest is Neumarkt in the Oberpfalz at 3.1 weeks. Despite the differences, the average marketing time across all regions is around 5.9 weeks.
